Veal Tenderloin with Sautéed Mushrooms

It’s summertime.

Our supermarkets are, once again, offering meat for grilling.

In the winter we have meat that’s appropriate for stewing and braising and long-cooking. Simmer is grilling season.

Sadly, for us, the French prefer their steaks and chops to be on the thin side. Most cuts are (I’m guessing) 1 cm thick, which would be about 1/3 on an inch.

Occasionally we find something closer to an inch (2 cm?) in which case it (whatever) goes into my trolley (cart).

These were delicious – as were the sautéed mushrooms that went on top.

We’ve been enjoying our bike rides along the canal this spring.

Now that the weather is warming we are seing more boats getting decked out for summer.

We rode at the opposite end of our canal trail last week.

On that ride we see a lot more privately owned canal boats.

For the last 2 summers it’s all been pretty quiet, the boats tied to their moorings and still with their winter coverings on.

This year is looking a bit more like ‘The Before Times’.

What caught my eye about the red boat was all of the hanging flowers on deck:

There are 3 levels of pots of flowers – almost as if they were starting a nursery.

Maybe they group the plants together to make it easier to care for them when the owners aren’t on the boat.

I do rather like the potted palms on either end.

I think I want a canal boat.
